Havingconnections is probably best/safest way. Otherwise maybe ask in subreddit of your country
Carefully, but I probably don’t have to tell you that.
I hear people just go ahead and use Grindr, but there’s been some stings on it in places like Saudi.
In case you don’t know, “stings” means the police getting on it to arrest people.
Honestly, you don’t. You do whatever it takes to get out of there in the long term, and start looking for partners once you’re out.
Without knowing where you live, I’m kinda scared Lemmy users will give you dangerous advice. I’d be wary of any suggestions that don’t come from people in your country.
Maybe using a VPN would make it safer to search for queer discussions specific to your area. But also, you know, be wary of my suggestion! I don’t know your situation.
Move to the capital city or the largest city. Find a few people online and meet more through them. Try to find social spaces where queer people gather. Doesn’t have to be queer-specific, leftist spaces are usually also safe.
